#186 Encoding with Multi Encoder not possible

[pirad]

Hey there!

Actually I'm trying to to get Lives running on my new machine and hopefully get more into this VJ-thing in the future - but at the moment i am experiencing some problems...

Every time when I try to encode a clip with multi encoder it looks like it is doing something but when i'm looking into the details it gives me this message:

SAVE pt a11

SAVE pt a114

SAVE pt a11999999999999999

    I got the following arguments:

    multi_encoder version = 0.2.14
    fps = 24.000
    outfile = "/home/xxx/vdz/x/xx.flv.ogv"
    start = 1
    end = 264
    ext = .png
    vformat = hi-theora
    aformat = 3
    hsize = 640
    vsize = 480

    I will use the following:

    fpsc = 2
    aspect = 1.33333333333
    arc = 2
    type = hi
    prog = theora
    tempdir = /home/xxx/livestmp/Arbeitsset/clips/91874521/metd

    I will run the following command:
    lives_theora_encoder -o "/home/xxx/vdz/x/xx.flv.ogv" -w "/home/xxx/livestmp/Arbeitsset/clips/91874521/metd" -a 2 -f 2 -v -t hi -s ./audiodump.wav 1 264 1>&2

mkfifo: Erzeugen von FIFO „stream.yuv“ nicht möglich: Die Datei existiert bereits
Option vf: pp doesn't exist.
Error parsing commandline option "-vf": Option parameter could not be parsed
MPlayer2 UNKNOWN (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team

If I pause the encoding message the output is:

Encoder error - output file was not created !

I'm using Lives 1.6.2 from the deb-multimedia repository on crunchbang waldorf(testing) linux with 3.6.0-9.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64 Kernel.

Besides this very much thanks for the things you are doing Salsaman!!!!

Hi there,
-vf pp is video filter post-processing. I would suggest trying to obtain a different version of mplayer which supports this. May be a bug in the debian version of mplayer ?

Alternatively you could try editing the line in question in lives_theora_encoder (just search for -vf).
